My intention in creating and posting this information is to clear up as many misconceptions as possible about the relationship between RJ Testerman, the Welcomed Consensus, Free the Need, and the people who live in the W.C. houses.
Free the Need
I’m not claiming that Free the Need doesn’t do good work. They give away food and clothing, have holiday food drives and a back to school event. The problem is that they do not present themselves honestly. The food, clothing, and vehicles donated are used primarily to support the Welcomed Consensus’s sensuality courses and the residents of the W.C. houses. This gleaning of donated resources begs the question of why the members of the Welcomed Consensus started this charity in the first place, and why they hide the truth about how donations are used?
At Benchmarks, you will hear that Free the Need is a charity the Welcomed Consensus supports. In actuality, it is Free the Need that supports the Welcomed Consensus.
Good to Know
When attending Benchmarks and courses put on by the Welcomed Consensus, volunteering with Free the Need, or volunteering through WWOOF.NET, it is difficult to discern who is who. Subterfuge, deception and obscuring the truth is built into RJ Testerman’s system. I hope this helps to clear up who is supporting RJ Testerman and his organizations.
Please feel free to ask questions or make comments below or on my contact page.
what the right long term thing to do about free the need?
Transparency. If there really is value in the Welcomed Consensus and Free the Need, then there is no reason for all the subterfuge. Any other legitimate business would at least answer the charges made by me and the others on this blog. I, and a few others, are working towards exposure. Contact me if you would like to help, and thanks for reading and asking!
The motivation behind the group creating these food donations has nothing to do with them wanting to help people that are hungry, that part of it is just a byproduct of what the group doesnt keep for them self’s. I know for a fact that every bit of food that they receive from businesses and people under the pretext of “feeding the poor and homeless” goes straight to the ranch and the SF house were they pick through it and keep all the good stuff for them self’s, and give away the rest. Often rotten and expired stuff. I also know for a fact that the people and places that make these food donations had been told its going to those that really need it and not the group. I hate that kind of fake look at me helping people BS. No Honesty or Integrity from those people.
